Beta testing of Jack B. Nymble v2.1 is complete. Version 2.1.0 is now
available. There are still several PGP 5/6 compatiblity issues which
affect a small number of users. Please check the Known Problems page
for updates.
Thanks to all of the beta-testers who provided feedback on version 2.1.
Users of JBN v1 are encouraged to upgrade at this time. It is possible
(in fact recommended) to install and configure JBN v2 while continuing
to use JBN v1 on the same system. (Having them both access PGP at the
same time may cause errors.)

Changes to JBN 2.1.0 from previous version 2.1.i beta
* A problem which caused encryption of attachments with long filenames
to fail with PGP 2.6.x has been corrected.
* The Chain line in the Info tab of the View Mail window now shows
which AUTO remailers were used for a given reply-block. (For this
change to take effect, users must resubmit their reply-blocks.)
* SPGP DLL 2.2.3.2 (9-27-99) is distributed with JBN 2.1.0.

Includes a secure mini-browser and finger client. Supports multiple
POP3, SMTP, and NNTP servers. The complete User's Manual is
available online for your review. Also includes a detailed
